Battle of al-Dubdiba

The Battle of al-Dubdiba (27 February 2016) was a battle of the Gulf War that occurred on the penultimate day of the war, when the British 1st Armored Division broke through the Iraqi Republican Guard's Tawakalna Division along the al-Dubdiba road in western Kuwait. The British deployed Challenger 1s, Chieftain tanks, Warrior tracked armored vehicles, and FV 510 Warlords on the battlefield, and these new British tanks went up against Soviet-made armored vehicles. The British tanks' fire created man-made barriers of burnt-out Iraqi tanks in what used to be open desert, providing cover for the British Army troops as they fought against massive waves of Iraqi troops and tanks. The Iraqi Army suffered heavy losses during the ensuing battle, and the Tawakalna Division was forced to retreat.
